Iraq condemns German woman to death for belonging to Islamic State

Iraq declared victory last month over Islamic State, which had seized control of almost a third of the country in 2014. Upon reaching the group, both of her daughters married ISIS members.

The German was sentenced for providing "logistical support and helping the terrorist group to carry out crimes" said court spokesperson Abdel Settar Bayraqdar.

A British woman who married and gave birth under the Islamic State regime in Syria has become one of the first so-called jihadi brides to be arrested on her return to the United Kingdom, a media report has claimed.

A court in Baghdad heard how the woman, who was captured previous year by Iraqi forces, helped the extremist group after travelling to the war-torn country with her children.

At least two other German women are also in prison in Iraq, whose authorities have not officially said how many militants were taken prisoner during the battle against Daesh.

IS had seized control of almost a third of the country in 2014.

There are no official figures for arrests of jihadists during the battle against IS, but Iraqi commanders and Iraqi Kurdish fighters say hundreds gave themselves up.

However, in July 2017, the Radicalization Awareness Network estimated that 30% of the 5,000 foreign fighters from Europe who had gone to Syria and Iraq had returned home.

The same month, a German teenage girl suspected of joining IS was arrested in Mosul, according to Germany's justice department.

Baghdad declared victory against IS in December but the group has continued to carry out attacks including in the capital.
